Yup I can confirm that my macbook's fan is now on 100% of the time, you can hear the fan (it is fairly quiet though). No moo ofcourse, but the fan is now constantly on. The temp is obviously going to be a lot cooler, but I wish there could have been a better solution to this fan moo problem 
Well, I'm definitely happy -- my idle temps have gone from mid-upper 60's to low to mid 50's in all of eight minutes. (This is with an ambient temp of 76-78ºF) I'm more than happy to put up with a tiny bit of fan noise than a slow-roasting laptop, but perhaps that's because my MacBook's fan has been rather quiet all along anyways.
Ok that link didnt provide another link to allow me to DL the program hahaha
How do i GET That, rather then read about it?

If you're referring to the CoreDuo Temp link at the top of this page, look for a "Download" text link all the way at the top of the page. I couldn't find it either the first time...Star Destroyer said:

Holy crap! I'm serious about my MB being 31 C! This is the craziest ever. I'm running MSN, Safari, iTunes, CD temp and iPhoto. This is insane!
I can't hear a difference from my fan, but I'm glad that y'all outthere got the problem solved.

wow...did your mb originally not have moo problems?
Josias said:no, it was all silent, and still is, but it would usually run at 50 C doing that, but now it's 15 C less. Incredible!
ARRRG, why!?!?!?!?!?!? Is there really something physically wrong with the macbooks which had the moo? Sure the moo is gone, but it's still in the mid 50s compared to ppl with no moo getting 30s now!
With the reduced temps does anyone notice their Macbook is running faster in intensive applications like Photoshop or Handbrake?
seems to run about the same speed for me, but Ive only been using it for a couple of hours.
its definitely much cooler I can leave it on my lap while its charging, before I would have to find a table within like 10-20 minutes of plugging it in...the fan noise is hardly noticeable too...its a great update

Whilst it's nice to see that Apple has provided a fix for this problem, spare a thought for us chirpy G5 tower owners, particularly those who have upgraded to Tiger. No fix in sight here

What? The PowerMac's moo? I know some 12" iBook's have moo'ed, but never heard of PowerMacs?
hmm...nothing's happening on mine. its still warm but lets give it sometime to cool... the wierd thing is menutemp is now resolutely stuck on 0 even after about 5 minutes. i mean the fans can't be so stong that its freezing in there?
also does anyone think that apple might have sneakily put something for random shutdowns in the firmware? (please please please...)
menutemp still at 0- well now i have the outside of the mb as a space heater for the winter and if i could just crack it open, use the inside as a fridge... who'd know that this would become such a multi functional machine when they bought it...

Mine at 32 C now.. last night it was at 54C with the new update.. so it goes to show that the temp difference might just be how high your air conditioning is cranked
So just waut until winter, everyones temps will likely go down..

That's like buying an expensive sportscar and only driving it up and down your driveway. Your MacBook wants to sit with you on the sofa, lay with you in bed, go with you to the airport (well, maybe not right now), go to your place of work, sit precariously close to your coffee at Starbucks ... FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY, SET YOUR MACBOOK FREE!macdaddy121 said:
If I install this update, but don't like the what it does to my MB's fans, if I do a clean reinstallation of OSX, will it undo the update?

The PowerMac G5s don't moo - they roar.

I'd love to see this, as well.

The Firmware is something more "internal" than just the System Software on the hard drive, and thus is a separate thing.
People that didnt have the moo problem, did the firmware update help? I stayed in 10.4.6 when people where saying that there moo started in 10.4.7 but now with people saying it cooled down the temp im tempted to update, but my two concers are how loud is the hum? and how many people with 10.4.7 have had the colored lines on there screen?
